Oogarding, Heritage-listed villa in Bardon, Australia
The two-story Mediterranean Revival villa features smooth rendered masonry walls, glazed terracotta roof tiles, and decorative elements throughout its exterior and interior spaces.
Constructed between 1940 and 1941 by builder Jan Cupka under architect Mervyn Rylance's supervision, Oogarding was commissioned by James Gervase Joyce of the Helidon Spa company.
The villa's name comes from an Aboriginal term connected to the Helidon Spa that generated wealth for the Joyce family who lived there until 1999.
Located at 100 Simpsons Road, the residence contains four bedrooms, multiple bathrooms, a dining room, lounge areas, and a family room added during 1960s renovations.
The property stands as a rare example of pure Mediterranean-style architecture in Brisbane, incorporating Georgian elements adapted to local Australian conditions.
